Family's saga continues with new book Local author Larry Hamilton pens sequel to 'Lucy's Story'
BY SHARON SEMANIE With permission from the Piqua Daily Call
PIQUA - While many individuals aspire to research their family roots, historian and retired Piqua High School teacher Larry Hamilton of Piqua has given new meaning to genealogy and the fulfillment of researching one's ancestry. He has published a sequel to his first book "Lucy's Story" - titled "Between Two Suns: The Berean Experience" - available locally beginning Friday. Authored by Hamilton and written by his former student Christina DeLaet, the latest book is "the continuing saga of a family history narrative handed down from generations of the Hamilton family of Loveland, Ohio." The 62-year-old author indicates that his first historical novel focused on his great-great grandmother, Lucy Sams, and her flight from slavery in Madison County, Ky,. to Camp Nelson, a "haven of refuge" in Lexington, which served as a Civil War fortification and was among the largest recruiters of black soldiers. It was during that time that Lucy Sams, he writes, "survived a tragic and deadly expulsion of fugitive slaves and befriended the abolitionist and humanitarian Rev. John G. Fee. At the camp, she was courted by Allen Ross, a soldier who miraculously survives the Saltville Massacre and returns to marry Lucy with the Rev. Fee officiating." In the latest novel "Between Two Suns," Hamilton describes the family's "hope for a bright new future with the dawning of the Reconstruction era following the Civil War." The family, he notes, struggles to be maintained as a cohesive unit during the turmoil of widespread racial violence. "Farming and just working hard isn't enough to win the friendship of some neighbors," he said, "which contributes to a migratory path of the family from Garrard County, Ky. to Warsaw on the Ohio River and on into Lockland, Ohio, for a short time and final settlement in Loveland. In spite of social difficulties and economic hardship, Lucy is passionate about following the advice of her old friend, Rev. Fee, in having her children educated." Ironically, he adds, "it is her only daughter Cynthia, who is the one chosen to attend Berea College, which was founded by Rev. Fee and becomes an integrated educational oasis in a region of strict adherence to Jim Crow." Hamilton suggests that "remarkably, the recognition of the plight of European immigrants by these former American slaves is made real in the emotional strain of the fraying marriage of Lucy and Allen (Ross). Despite threats to marital fidelity the couple sacrificed to raise a family and fervently held to the ethic of hard work and the counsel of education as the means to accomplishing advancement in America. The mysterious murder of a family member and the conspiratorial manner brought by the imposition of the Day Law marked the sunset of the beginning of the twentieth century." "Readers who loved 'Lucy's Story' will double their pleasure with 'Between Two Suns,'" he said. "It is twice as long (330 pages) with no additional cost ($18.87) and the intrigue, romanticism and mystery will make it difficult for readers to put the book down." Hamilton suggests that Book III of his trilogy of historical novels will relate, in part, to an important upcoming anniversary in the Miami Valley. Hamilton's books are available at Readmore's Hallmark Store and Eagle Printing. Book signings also will be scheduled at the Miami Valley Centre Mall, Readmore's Hallmark and Kroger for Christmas holiday gift purchases. A native of Loveland, Hamilton lived in a large extended family group with two older sisters and two younger sisters. His father, he noted, had four brothers with three of them being immediate neighbors "The other lived one block away and my father's mother - the Hamilton family matriarch - lived two blocks away. And my mother's family also had her parents only three blocks away."
Hamilton graduated from Loveland High School in 1967, before enrolling at Central State University where he was graduated in 1971. He earned a master's degree from Wright State University in 1978, and taught World History, African American History and Current Events at Piqua High School from 1971 to 2001. "It was by no accident that I authored Lucy's Story," explained Hamilton, when asked what inspired him to initiate the trilogy of novels. The spark occurred after taking a group of high school students to hear Alex Haley talk about his book "Roots: The Saga of an American Family." Although the seed was planted in 1975, Hamilton didn't begin his historical journey until 2008, when a former student contacted him about a series of Black History Month presentations he was giving at a local college. Unable to attend due to inclement weather, the student forwarded a letter inviting Hamilton to talk with her about his family's experiences in the Civil War camp since she had an interest in writing stories of that era. Hamilton's desire to have his great-great grandmother's story told resulted in their partnership in 2008. Hamilton authored the material written by Christina DeLaet whose parents are Bob and Diane DeLaet, owners of Eagle Printing. Christina's sister, Nikki, is the graphic artist and, according to Hamilton, "has also played a critical role in the publication of both "Lucy's Story" and "Between Two Suns." Determined to "bring honor and dignity" to the struggles of his ancestors as Americans, Hamilton noted the oral history with his grandmother took place in November 1975, more than three decades before Lucy's Story appeared. "The events, locations and most individuals are historically accurate, but the only way to weave a story around the presentation of historical facts has to be labeled as fictitious because there is no way to totally verify the oral history given to me through my grandmother," he added. When asked if it was difficult to undertake such an important piece of history, he replied "No. This was the purpose to which I was born. It took a long time only because it was supposed to. As (Alex) Haley stated 'it was a series of meant to be experiences that led to this initiative and that was what was intended by divine dictate." Larry and his wife, Linda, are the parents of four children: Lawrence III (Butch), Cicely, Erika and Jonathan. Both sons are educators, Butch a teacher in Columbus, and Jon, a graduate assistant working on his doctorate degree at the University of Illinois, Erika is pursuing an acting career in California and Cicely, who contracted meningitis after birth and is developmentally disabled, lives at home with her parents. "I married Linda - also an educator - in June 1971. We celebrated our fortieth anniversary this year. Our children," he quipped, "covered our expenses in vacationing in Jamaica," Hamilton said.

A hard-hitting expose on the outrageous failures of conventional medicine juxtaposed against an easy to understand explanation of science-based, clinically verified Non-Drug Solutions for common health conditions.

Who is this middle class that we so often worry about alienating? I'm afraid it is made up of people who are often not our natural allies, and who in fact are more invested in maintaining their privilege than other classes of people who potentially have a lot more to offer to social
change movements, but who we have a pattern of ignoring. Perhaps we imagine that by hooking our cause to socially acceptable norms, we will grow. If our message is palatable to the New York Times,
we will get better coverage, and so gain legitimacy. If our movement
resonates with the social-climber professionals, coordinators and
decisionmakers, then they will use their resources and talents to carry us forward. In the last couple of years, I have received email notices reminding me
to dress nicely for upcoming demonstrations. I have heard mostly white activists debate dropping a black rap group from an event line-up because their language might offend families. And I have heard people argue that a Dump Bush demand is worthwhile because it appeals to people who aren't ready for a more radical message that lays the blame
for war and injustice less on one evil-doer and more on the workings of society's underlying institutions. But when we contrive a wardrobe that will appeal to others, eliminate the edge from our cultural commentary, and demonize the figurehead of
our corporate controlled government, we lose credibility with the people who know better.

Friends of mine went around cape horn on their Baba 40. Most double enders lack the generous space of other designs. Since it is an offshore cruising boat the cockpit space is not going to be as generous as the benehuntalina type boats. Since your first question is about cockpit space, how do you intend to use your boat? Dockwise liveaboard? Coastal cruising? Some offshore passages? Or serious fulltime round the world cruising? I'd go an a few more boats to get the feel of what you really want.

Satechi Bluetooth MediaRemote Control Review
Most speaker docks include a remote, allowing you to control the iPhone from across the room. But if you happen to be using a 3.5mm cord to hook up your iPhone or iPod Touch to a set of speakers or stereo, you'll need to walk directly up to the device to change its volume or skip to the next track. Unless of course you had Satechi's Bluetooth Media Remote.
This remote quickly pairs with any iOS device. In my case I paired it with my iPhone and used the remote in a variety of scenarios that called for song changes and volume adjustments when I couldn't be in physical contact with my handset, such as while driving.
That said, pairing the Satechi with the iPhone is a simple affair and takes less than a minute, if not seconds if you already have the iPhone's Bluetooth turned on. First, you'll need to make sure the the remote's battery is properly in place. Next, you'll need to power it on using the switch located on the left side of the remote – it's hidden at first blush. (Unlike Infrared remotes, which power down immediately when not in use, this one will continue to suck down battery juice because it will stay connected with the host device.) Finally, pairing is a simple as hitting the connect button hidden behind the remote's sliding door, and ensuring your iOS device recognizes the remote. After that, the Satechi remote should pair again and again with your handset when its Bluetooth is activated – I had no problems.
In terms of buttons, the Satechi BT MediaRemote can play, pause, skip or rewind tracks. It can also control volume, which is all administered via an intelligently laid out button design. At the very top of the remote is an LED indicator light to tell you when it's powered on (green), and when it's pairing (flashes red). Below that is a ring containing a volume rocker (the volume up doubles as a camera shutter release so you can take pics from afar), track control, and in the center a pause/play button. Further below that are three buttons: one for activating the keyboard on the device, a home button which can be also used to activate Siri, and a mute button. Slide open the bottom portion of the remote and you'll reveal a numerical keypad, which will be used few and far between, but still ideal for those who are making a PowerPoint presentation and need to enter a page number.
The Satechi Bluetooth remote can work with other devices, including Android, but in a limited capacity. I didn't test it out with another product simply because I live in an Apple world – scorn me now. Surprisingly, it won't work with Keynote on the iPad or iPhone, though Satechi says it is compatible with Keynote on a Mac. Furthermore, at least in terms of drawbacks, because iOS by default does not show the virtual keyboard when a Bluetooth "keyboard" is connected, which is how it perceives the Satechi remote, you'll need to activate it using the aforementioned button on the remote. A slight nuance, but most certainly not a deal breaker.
In terms of performance, the Satechi remote is very reactive. I half expected a slight delay, but I couldn't have been more wrong. Volume adjustments, skip tracks, photo shutter release, they all happened instantly, as if I were performing the actions on the handset itself. The remote is light weight and small enough that you can slip it into any pocket without feeling encumbered. Unfortunately, battery life is a bit difficult to determine, though Satechi says you can expect up to 6 months for each set of CR-2025 coin cell batteries installed. Most, if not all of those that buy this remote will use the main buttons. That said, the sliding door that hides the numeric keypad feels a bit cheap, and the keys themselves are of the very tiny chiclet style, so be prepared to focus when you're dialing in a number.
Bottom Line: The Satechi BT MediaRemote is an excellent addition to any iOS device, and is well worth its price.
Editor's Rating:
- Easy to setup
- Long battery life
- Control volume, take photos, and more from across the room
- Takes those pesky watch batteries
- Sliding door feels a bit cheap

Thanks for the suggestions! John
How did the fuel look that you poured out of your portable tank? Are you familiar with diesel bugs? If not, Google it. Just because you dumped new fuel in doesn't mean there isn't a whole bunch of crud inside your tank that easily could have broken free when your tank tipped over. The time (20 hours) is absolutely irrelevant. In rough conditions with bad fuel it's not unheard to have to change filters in less than an hour of run time. What type of primary fuel filter are you using? Did you check the secondary filter on the engine too?
Could you elaborate on what hard starting means? Have you tried to push up the throttle when cranking to see if it starts easier? Have you ever tried to manually pump the lift pump before cranking the engine?
And what about revving up the engine in neutral? Will it do it without black smoke or is smoke only when in gear?

Lee County High students commemorate JFK anniversary
LEESBURG — As part of their ongoing training as citizen-orators, the AP (advanced placement) English students at Lee County High School recently asked friends and family members to share their memories of Nov. 22, 1963, the day when President John F. kennedy was assassinated in Dallas.
Many of those memories were collected for a display in the school's lobby that commemorates that fateful day in American history.
"We have comments and recollections gathered from across the nation and the world—even one or two from Dallas and one from a naval vessel at sea," AP instructor Robby Davis said. "Good citizens have a knowledge and appreciation of the nation's history. A complete understanding of and interest in history allows one to put current events into the proper perspective, not the perspective that the news media choose for us."
The AP English course for 11th graders is a course in rhetoric, and it focuses on increasing students' awareness of the contemporary issues in all areas of study: language, science, history, society. The AP students invite the public to visit the high school and view their commemorative display, which will remain in the lobby through Sunday.
Also, in response to the recent natural disaster in the Philippines, the AP students rallied the support of their friends and families for their "5 Days for the Philippines" service project. In five days, the group raised more than $1,500. Those funds were channeled to the Philippine relief effort through Concern Worldwide. A former AP student from LCHS, Amanda Ruckel, who works for the highly-rated world-relief NGO based in New York, guided the students through the donation process. The students chose Concern Worldwide because the organization assured them that 92.4 cents of each dollar would go directly to providing aid on the ground.
Next semester the AP students will be working on another global citizenship initiative that focuses on the issue of hunger throughout the world.
Breakfast with Santa returns to LCHS Saturday
Saturday will mark the 18th annual Breakfast with Santa, marking the beginning of Leesburg's day full of Christmas celebrations and heralding the beginning of the area's holiday season.
The pancake-and-sausage breakfast will be served in the Lee County High School cafeteria 7:30 a.m.-10 a.m., which is the scheduled starting time for Leesburg's Christmas parade. Throughout the breakfast, children will have the opportunity to visit with Santa Claus. And for the first time in many years, Mrs. Claus is expected to accompany her husband on his annual pre-Christmas visit to Leesburg. Parents and grandparents will be welcome to take photographs of their young ones as they discuss their wish lists with the Clauses.
"The breakfast has become a special holiday tradition in our community," says Robby Davis, a spokesperson for the event. "And speaking of traditions, we're glad to say that, just as it has always been, the family-friendly price will remain only $3 per person."
The annual Breakfast with Santa is hosted by the award-winning theatre arts program of Lee County High.
Auditions set for stage version of Mel Brooks' classic
Lee County High School's Theatre Arts Program will conduct auditions for Mel Brook's newest movie-turned-Broadway musical, "Young Frankenstein" on Sunday and Monday at the high school.
The production's cast will include adults from the community and students from the high school. The auditions will include singing and speaking; some of those auditioning might be asked to dance.
The show will feature all the favorite wacky characters from Brook's original 1974 comedy-classic film — Dr. Victor von Frankenstein; his fiancée, Elizabeth; Frau Blucher; Igor; Inspector Kemp, and The Monster. The Irving Berlin classic "Puttin' on the Ritz" will be heard in the show, but it will be joined by songs written by Brooks, including "He Vas My Boyfriend," "The Brain," and "The Transylvania Mania."
Auditions are scheduled for 2:30 p.m. Sunday, and 3:30 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. Monday at Lee County High's Clay Auditorium. No prepared audition material is required. Contact (229) 903-2297 or email email@example.com.
Books trivia contest set for Oakland library
The Bindery at Oakland, the Lee County library branch off U.S. Highway 82, will be the host site for the "By the Books Trivia Competition" at 7 p.m. on Dec. 12.
Local trivia whizzes are invited to team up and compete in this winner-takes-all contest. Teams of 2-5 people with no age requirements will field questions from five categories: language and literature, history and politics, math and science, pop culture, and sports.
The registration fee is $10 per team. The contest will consist of three preliminary rounds and a final head-to-head round. Spectators are welcome. The winning team will take home the total amount of collected registration fees as first prize.
The contest is being coordinated by Lee County High School theatre arts program as a community service.
Teams may pre-register by emailing email@example.com or calling (229) 903-2297. On-site registration begins at 6:30 p.m. on Dec. 12. All registration fees must be paid before the contest begins.

It Takes A Village - And A Chief
The clock is ticking down to SIGGRAPH 2012. Soon, thousands and thousands of digital artists will be wandering the halls of the show, attending sessions, learning about new techniques, meeting new friends, and reconnecting with previous ones.
It takes months, even years, of planning to make the conference and exhibition one of the best in the world. And while such planning requires a village of volunteers, it also relies on the guidance and decisions of the conference chair. This year, that role falls to Rebecca Strzelec, a professor of visual arts and program coordinator of the Visual Art Studies degree program at Penn State University, Altoona College.
Here, we meet the person behind the curtain of this year's event, as she prepares us for this grand event. (Also see the Editors Note in the June/July 2012 issue of CGW for a personal introduction to Strzelec and how her interest in the collision of art and science can be seen throughout SIGGRAPH 2012.)
When did you begin volunteering at SIGGRAPH, and what positions have you held?
Informally, I began volunteering in 2003. I was exhibiting some work in the Art Gallery and wandered into the Guerilla Studio (now known as Studio) on setup day. I started to pitch in and never really left. I came back for three years to officially be a member of the sub-committee for the Studio. In 2007, I was the Studio chair. I served as the Conference Arts director in 2008 and 2009, and then started shadowing for the Conference chair position shortly thereafter.
What made you join SIGGRAPH as a volunteer?
I have volunteered for other organizations and conferences but haven't experienced the kind of teamwork and passion seen in SIGGRAPH volunteers. SIGGRAPH volunteers tend to be super smart, enthusiastic, and they have diverse interests and occupations. It is tons of fun to work with them on shared goals. I saw just a small piece of that my first year in the Studio and realized it carried through all the venues and programs.
What can attendees expect this year from the show in terms of content?
Attendees can expect the same level of robust and intriguing content. We have had phenomenal content submissions across all areas, from the Technical Papers, to Courses, to the Computer Animation Festival, to the Art Gallery. Plus, there truly is something for everyone at SIGGRAPH. And there's economical access for those people who just want a small taste of the SIGGRAPH experience. We are also excited about the response from our exhibitor community, as the Exhibition is on pace to grow by 14 percent compared to last year. The quantity of new exhibitors and the participation from the international community continues to fuel its growth.
Will we see anything new in terms of the SIGGRAPH experience?
Yes, we are introducing the SIGGRAPH Mobile program, which will be a full day of talks, workshops, and demos about all things mobile. It's on Wednesday, and it will be pretty exciting. Also, we are bringing back the SIGGRAPH Business Symposium that launched in Vancouver and was an amazing success. All the major components that attendees have come to love and expect at SIGGRAPH will be returning.
How will this year's show be different from last year's show?
A major difference is location. While the theme for last year in Vancouver was "Make it Home," we are truly coming home when we are in Los Angeles. L.A. Live – the commercial business district around the convention center – has blossomed into wonderful entertainment and networking space that serves our core audiences very well. SIGGRAPH is as much about learning and discovery as it is about making lifelong professional connections and networking. Plus, the Exhibition is shaping up to be bigger, with more exhibitors. And, as is always the case, our technical community continues to discover and innovate. We will once again be extremely fortunate to hear about the most current research findings in computer graphics. On that note, I would highly recommend viewing the amazing 2012 Technical Papers preview video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cKrng7ztpog).
How have you been preparing for this event, from the time you were awarded the position until now?
Lots of shadowing. Attending meetings and holding conference calls. SIGGRAPH is built on the interactions of passionate people, and as a conference chair, I am lucky that I get to be a part of almost all those conversations. So I think it is fair to say I've spent most of my time communicating. But really, once I identified the committee, I basically get to assist them in making their plans happen.
What were some of the biggest surprises you learned as chair?
I think I had a general idea of how much work and time went into planning a SIGGRAPH conference when I was a contributor and attendee, but until I started participating in logistics meetings, I really didn't know what actually went into making SIGGRAPH happen. It is an immensely impressive team of volunteers and contractors. The beautiful thing about it, though, is that most attendees never see or fully see all of that effort. That's because the people behind SIGGRAPH make it look like it rolls out all on its own. I continue to be surprised by how much people love working for a conference. It is a gift to be a part of it.
Post-SIGGRAPH 2012, will you reprise any former roles in the organization, assume any new ones, or take the year off just to enjoy the show?
I am not sure I can wrap my head around the idea of 'post-SIGGRAPH 2012." Is there such a thing? (chuckle)

Last weekend we saw the coldest weather we've had yet this Fall. Sunday morning dawned bright, thanks to the return of Eastern Standard Time, but cold! 29 degrees! Brrrr. It was definitely a day for something warm and comforting from the kitchen. It didn't take long to decide that our comfort food for the evening would be a big pot of chili. But I wanted something a little different to go along with it. Something more than crackers, you know? Cornbread is always great with chili, but still I wanted to push it a little further than just a plain old ordinary cornbread. So I got in the kitchen and just started putting together whatever sounded good to mix into cornbread and I wound up with this real winner!
I always make my cornbread with white, fine ground cornmeal. It gives a softer, more dense texture than regular yellow cornmeal and has a very slightly sweeter taste from the white corn. Maybe it's just because the white cornmeal is what I grew up with, but I really can't stand that coarse yellow stuff. And I want my cornmeal from one of two mills located in south Georgia (Arnett's) or north Florida (Hoover's). Yeah, I'm a cornmeal snob.
This recipe is so simple. You just dump everything together in a bowl, stir it well and pour it into a hot skillet. Thirty minutes later…cheesy chili cornbread!
2 tblsp. oil (for pan)
1 1/2 cups white cornmeal (fine ground)
3 tblsp. butter, melted
1 egg
1/2 cup sour cream
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 cup milk
1 cup whole kernel corn (frozen, fresh or canned)
1 cup extra sharp cheese, grated
4 oz. can chopped green chilies
Put two tablespoons of cooking oil in a cast iron skillet. Put the skillet in the oven and turn the oven on to preheat to 400 degrees.
While the oven preheats, mix all the ingredients together in a large bowl. Stir well to combine.
I wanted to show you the cheese that I used in this cornbread. This is without doubt the sharpest cheddar that I've ever tasted. It came from Spring Ridge Creamery in Otto, North Carolina. The store is located right beside the highway there on U.S. 441. We take that route occasionally when we travel back and forth to Asheville to see our babies and grandbabies. The creamery is located just steps across the Georgia-North Carolina state line. If you're ever traveling through that area, slow down and stop. They have some incredible cheeses, old-fashioned farm milk with cream on top, freshly made butter and homemade ice cream. It's worth a 10 minute stop for sure! And the extra sharp cheese really gave a nice kick to the cornbread.
When the oven has reached 400 degrees, quickly pour the cornbread mixture into the hot oil and return the pan immediately to the oven.
The cornbread will immediately start to bubble around the edges. That's what gives it such a nice crispy edge when it's done!
Bake for 30 minutes or until the top is golden brown.

CHOP Announces $2 Million Gift From Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation
The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia announced today that it had received a $2 million gift awarded by Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation (ALSF) as part of a longstanding partnership to eradicate pediatric cancer.
Gift matched by CHOP, annual funding for childhood cancer research
The four-year $2 million gift will be matched by The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia for a total of $4 million, providing $1 million of transformational funding annually to the Center for Childhood Cancer Research (CCCR) at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.
Event honors longstanding partnership with Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation (ALSF)
A celebration event was held at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia to thank ALSF and recognize its tremendous contribution toward advancing pediatric cancer research at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and beyond.
"We are honored that Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation has chosen to support The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, not only because of the deeply personal connection we have had with Alex and the Scott family for many years, but also because our Center for Childhood Cancer Research shares the mission to eradicate pediatric cancer and is one of the few institutions that has the talent, resources and commitment to do so," said John Maris, MD, chief, Division of Oncology and director, Center for Childhood Cancer Research.
"We are pleased to continue our work with The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia through this transformational gift," said Jay Scott, Alex's Dad and Executive Director of Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation. "We have always believed in funding the best research to lead us to better treatments and cures for all childhood cancers. We thank the thousands of volunteers and supporters across the country and world who have supported Alex's mission, and given the foundation the opportunity to fund childhood cancer research at elite hospitals and institutions like The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia."
Gift to fund three new initiatives at CHOP
This extraordinary gift will make possible three new initiatives at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia:
The Annual Alex Scott Cancer Research Fund will offer CCCR investigators with bold and creative research hypotheses the opportunity to pursue projects unlikely to be funded by traditional sources. Through an annual evaluation process led by the Cancer Leadership Group, the CCCR will have the ability to rapidly support innovative research ideas that have the potential to ultimately achieve NIH funding. This gift provides unique resources rare in today's economic climate.
A new scientific conference called The Alexandra Scott Annual Research Symposium will bring together leading physicians and researchers in the field of oncology to foster collaboration and enhance existing research programs in pediatric cancer nationally and internationally. This major scientific symposium will be held yearly at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia in partnership with Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation. The first symposium is scheduled for this fall.
The Experimental Therapeutics Program at Children's Hospital will be enhanced to help continue its efforts in identifying new treatments in the lab and rapidly translating them for patients in need of innovative therapies for their relapsed cancer. Children's Hospital has achieved great success in this area of therapy with the childhood cancer, neuroblastoma. This gift will enhance opportunities for research in neuroblastoma as well as in other difficult-to-treat childhood cancers such as relapsed acute leukemia and medulloblastoma, a type of pediatric brain tumor.
CHOP's relationship with the Scott family
The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia has developed a meaningful and productive relationship with Alex's parents, Liz and Jay Scott, founders of Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation. In 2001, the Scott's moved to Philadelphia to seek treatment for their daughter Alex at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia from Dr. John Maris, internationally known for his expertise and novel treatment of neuroblastoma. That same year, Alex set up her first lemonade stand in Philadelphia to raise money for pediatric cancer research. Alex lost her life to neuroblastoma in 2004, but she has left an indelible impact on pediatric cancer research. Through her simple idea of a front yard lemonade stand fund-raiser, Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation has raised more than $40 million for pediatric cancer, funding over 150 research projects at leading hospitals and institutions throughout the country.
In 2007, The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia created the Center for Childhood Cancer Research. Housed within the renowned Cancer Center, CCCR is a highly integrated basic, translational and clinical research environment dedicated to eradicating cancer in children. Today, master clinicians interact with basic scientists with the goal of improving cure rates through translational research initiatives. Investigators from these diverse backgrounds work side-by-side to foster innovative ideas in the new state-of-the-art Colket Translational Research Building situated on the main campus of The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.
About the Cancer Center at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia
The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia has one of the largest pediatric cancer programs in the United States. Its large basic and clinical research programs are particularly strong in pediatric neuro-oncology, neuroblastoma, leukemia and lymphoma, and sarcomas. Of all pediatric institutions, Children's Hospital enrolls the most patients in national clinical trials, working in close collaboration with national organizations such as the Children's Oncology Group. Physicians at Children's Hospital have had pioneering roles in developing international standards for diagnosing and treating neuroblastoma, and in developing programs for survivors of childhood cancer.
About Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation (ALSF)
Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation (ALSF) emerged from the front yard lemonade stand of cancer patient Alexandra "Alex" Scott (1996-2004). In 2000, 4-year-old Alex announced that she wanted to hold a lemonade stand to raise money to help find a cure for all children with cancer. Since Alex held that first stand, the Foundation bearing her name has evolved into a national fundraising movement, complete with thousands of volunteers across the country carrying on her legacy of hope. To date, Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation, a registered 501(c)3 charity, has raised more than $40 million toward fulfilling Alex's dream of finding a cure, funding over 150 research projects nationally.

So, if you're applying for a sales job and your experience is in sales, but your degree is in Art History, experience must come ahead of education in your resume. It's all about relevance.
As a rule, the more relevant and valuable the information, the higher up in your resume it should appear. Never assume employers will pore over every word with a fine-tooth comb and find the gems you've buried on page two. Because there are only two people in the world who will read every word of your resume: you and your mother. Everyone else is skimming quickly, so you have to lead with your best points.
Now, go out and make your own luck!

West Ham Utd 2 Crewe 0: the opposition view
Filed: Wednesday, 29th August 2012
By: Staff Writer
OV's were a little thin on the ground following last night's 2-0 win against the League One side so it's to Twitter we turned in order to maintain our regular quota of post-match contributions...
"Despite the result, this game saw a much improved performance from the Alex. First half an hour was a very even game and it was a little disappointing that we fell behind when we did. Martin will be disappointed he didn't push Nolan's shot round the post or out of the danger area when Maiga put in the rebound to make it 2-0. We tired in the last 10 minutes and West Ham were content to play keep ball and not really look for a third, but this was a decent performance by the Alex; all the players put in a shift and can be proud of how they did. A very enjoyable evening, it has to be said."
- jj1532
"Sam Allardyce had the luxury of making ten changes to his West Ham side but they still produced too much quality for Crewe. The Railwaymen certainly acquitted themselves much better than they did at Brentford on Saturday, but like the weekend defeat at Griffin Park one of our former forwards came back to haunt us. Nicky Maynard's superbly-taken opener set his new club on the way to the third round of the League Cup."
- crewealex.net
"If we play like this on Saturday I can only see an Alex win. Listening to last night's game and reading today's Sentinel, SD is very proud of the performance."
- Alexnewbie67
Nicky Maynard: still a star and a real gent. He didn't celebrate in front of the away fans and also went to them at the end and acknowledged them. A true player that lad. Well done Nicky, we all still hold you in great honour.
- JastheBase
"The players worked hard, had their moments and gave it a real good go. We had some opportunities. The goalkeeper made a good save from AJ (Leitch-Smith) when he was played in and I thought we had a claim for a penalty when Harry Bunn went down. Our heads did go down a bit when they scored the second goal but they kept themselves going, worked hard and, although Im obviously disappointed with the result and the fact that we have gone out of the competition, I am a proud manager. I think we showed what we are capable of."
- Steve Davis (Crewe Alexandra manager)
"Two games in 48 hours = aches and pains = difficult to sleep! Two wins serves as great pain relief though."
- Jordan Spence (West Ham Utd)
"Thanks to everyone that's helped me to achive my first team debut tonight. Great result and a great performance."
- George Moncur (West Ham Utd)
"A good performance and result tonight. In the hat for the next round. Thanks for the support and messages!"
- Dan Potts (West Ham Utd)
"Happy with the result today, good to keep a clean sheet on my debut. A few hairy moments but they'll be ironed out with game time. Thanks for the support."
- Stephen Henderson (West Ham Utd)
"A good result tonight. Really enjoyed it and was great to see the young lads play well. The future looks bright!"
- Matt Taylor (West Ham Utd)
"A shame about the Alex tonight but West Ham were always gonna be too strong!"
- Dean Ashton (ex West Ham Utd and Crewe Alexandra)

A seven-year-old girl has been told by town authorities in Connecticut that she can keep her 20lb rabbit...The 50-year-old ordinance that prevents residents from keeping rabbits and livestock on property of less than two acres was labelled 'ridiculous' by First Selectman Michael Freda...Since the story first appeared on Wednesday on WTNH-TV, 4,400 people have signed an online petition demanding that the town allow Kayden to keep the three-year-old Flemish giant rabbit she calls Sandy. First Selectman Michael Freda told Fox News: 'All along I've said that little girl is not losing that rabbit. We have a ridiculous ordinance... and we're going to change it.'

Monroe's father, Spence Monroe, was of Scottish descent, and his mother, Elizabeth Jones Monroe, of Welsh descent. The family were owners of a modest 600 acres (240 hectares) in Virginia. At age 16 Monroe entered the College of William and Mary but in 1776 left to fight in the American Revolution. As a lieutenant he crossed the Delaware with General George Washington for what became the Battle of Trenton. Suffering a near fatal wound in the shoulder, Monroe was carried from the field. Upon recovering, he was promoted to captain for heroism, and he took part in the Battles of Brandywine and Germantown. Advanced to major, he became aide-de-camp to General William Alexander (Lord Stirling) and with him shared the suffering of the troops at Valley Forge in the cruel winter of 1777–78. Monroe was a scout for Washington at the Battle of Monmouth and served as Lord Stirling's adjutant general.
In 1780, having resigned his commission in the army, he began the study of law under Thomas Jefferson, then governor of Virginia, and between the two men there developed an intimacy and a sympathy that had a powerful influence upon Monroe's later career. Jefferson also fostered a friendship between Monroe and James Madison.
Monroe was elected to the Virginia House of Delegates in 1782 and was chosen a member of the governor's council. From 1783 to 1786 he served in the Congress under the Articles of Confederation, the first constitution of the new nation. During his term he vigorously insisted on the right of the United States to navigate the Mississippi River, then controlled by the Spanish, and attempted, in 1785, to secure for the weak Congress the power to regulate commerce, thereby removing one of the great defects in the existing central government. In 1786 Monroe, 27 years old, and Elizabeth Kortright of New York, 17 years old, were married. They had two daughters, Eliza Kortright and Maria Hester, and a son who died in infancy. Eliza often was at her father's side as official hostess when he was president, substituting for her ailing mother. Maria's marriage to a cousin, Samuel L. Gouverneur, in 1820 was the first wedding performed in the President's House, as the White House was then called.
Retiring from Congress in 1786, Monroe began practicing law at Fredericksburg, Virginia. He was chosen a member of the Virginia House of Delegates in 1787 and in 1788 a member of the state convention at which Virginia ratified the new federal Constitution. In 1790 he was elected to the U.S. Senate, where he vigorously opposed President George Washington's administration; nevertheless, in 1794 Washington nominated him as minister to France.
It was the hope of the administration that Monroe's well-known French sympathies would secure for him a favourable reception and that his appointment would also conciliate France's friends in the United States. His warm welcome in France and his enthusiasm for the French Revolution, which he regarded as a natural successor to the American Revolution, displeased the Federalists (the party of Alexander Hamilton, which encouraged close ties not to France but to England) at home. Monroe did nothing, moreover, to reconcile the French to the Jay Treaty, which regulated commerce and navigation between the United States and Great Britain during the French Revolutionary wars.
Without real justification, the French regarded the treaty as a violation of the French-American treaty of commerce and amity of 1778 and as a possible cause for war. Monroe led the French government to believe that the Jay Treaty would never be ratified by the United States, that the administration of George Washington would be overthrown as a result of the obnoxious treaty, and that better things might be expected after the election in 1796 of a new president, perhaps Thomas Jefferson. Washington, though he did not know of this intrigue, sensed that Monroe was unable to represent his government properly and, late in 1796, recalled him.
Monroe returned to America in the spring of 1797 and in the following December published a defense of his course in a pamphlet of 500 pages entitled A View of the Conduct of the Executive, in the Foreign Affairs of the United States. Washington seems never to have forgiven Monroe for this stratagem, though Monroe's opinion of Washington and Jay underwent a change in his later years. In 1799 Monroe was chosen governor of Virginia and was twice reelected, serving until 1802.
There was much uneasiness in the United States when Spain restored Louisiana to France by the Treaty of San Ildefonso in October 1800 (confirmed March 1801). The Spanish district administrator's subsequent withdrawal of the United States' "right of deposit" at New Orleans—the privilege of storing goods there for later reshipment—greatly increased this feeling and led to much talk of war. Resolved to settle the matter by peaceful measures, President Jefferson in January 1803 appointed Monroe envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary to France to aid Robert R. Livingston, the resident minister, in purchasing the territory at the mouth of the Mississippi—including the island of New Orleans—authorizing him at the same time to cooperate with Charles Pinckney, the minister at Madrid, in securing from Spain the cession of East and West Florida. On April 18 Monroe was further commissioned as the regular minister to Great Britain.
Monroe joined Livingston in Paris on April 12, after the latter's negotiations were well under way, and the two ministers, on finding Napoleon willing to dispose of the entire province of Louisiana, decided to exceed their instructions and effect its purchase. Accordingly, on May 2, 1803, they signed a treaty and two conventions (antedated to April 30) whereby France sold Louisiana to the United States (see Louisiana Purchase). The fact that Monroe signed the treaty along with Livingston did not hurt his political career at home, but he is not entitled to much credit for the diplomatic achievement.
In July 1803 Monroe left Paris and entered upon his duties in London, and in the autumn of 1804 he proceeded to Madrid to assist Pinckney in his efforts to define the Louisiana boundaries and acquire the Floridas. After negotiating until May 1805 without success, Monroe returned to London and resumed his negotiations concerning the impressment of American seamen and the seizure of American vessels. As the British ministry was reluctant to discuss these vexing questions, little progress was made, and in May 1806 Jefferson ordered William Pinkney of Maryland to assist Monroe.
The result of the deliberations was a treaty signed on December 31, 1806, which contained no provision against impressments and provided no indemnity for the seizure of goods and vessels. Accompanying its signature was a British reservation maintaining freedom of action to retaliate against imminent French maritime decrees. In passing over these matters Monroe and Pinkney had disregarded their instructions, and Jefferson was so displeased with the treaty that he returned it to England for revision.
Monroe returned to the United States in December 1807. He was elected to the Virginia House of Delegates in the spring of 1810. In the following winter he was again chosen governor, serving from January to November 1811, when he resigned to become secretary of state under James Madison, a position he held until March 1817. The direction of foreign affairs in the troubled period immediately preceding and during the War of 1812, with Great Britain, thus fell upon him. On September 27, 1814, after the capture of Washington, D.C., by the British, he was appointed secretary of war and discharged the duties of this office, in addition to those of the Department of State, until March 1815.
In 1816 Monroe was elected president of the United States as the Republican candidate, defeating Rufus King, the Federalist candidate; Monroe received 183 electoral votes and King, 34. By 1820, when he was reelected, receiving all the electoral votes but one, the Federalists had ceased to function as a party. (See primary source documents: First Inaugural Address and Second Inaugural Address.) The chief events of his calm and prosperous administration, which has been called the Era of Good Feelings, were the First Seminole War (1817–18); the acquisition of the Floridas from Spain (1819–21); the Missouri Compromise (1820), by which the first conflict over slavery under the Constitution was peacefully settled; recognition of the new Latin American states, former Spanish colonies, in Central and South America (1822); and—most intimately connected with Monroe's name—the enunciation, in the presidential message of December 2, 1823, of the Monroe Doctrine (see original text), which has profoundly influenced the foreign policy of the United States.
Not until 1848 when James K. Polk was president did the first reference to Monroe's statement as a "Doctrine" appear. The phrase Monroe Doctrine came into common use in the 1850s. The "principles of President Monroe," as the message was referred to in Congress, consisted of three openly proclaimed dicta: no further European colonization in the New World, abstention of the United States from the political affairs of Europe, and nonintervention of Europe in the governments of the American hemisphere. In the diplomatic correspondence preceding the proclamation of these principles in the president's message was a fourth dictum not publicly associated with the doctrine until 1869: the United States opposed the transfer of any existing European colonies from one European sovereign to another.
It is generally concluded that Secretary of State John Quincy Adams was the sole author of the noncolonization principle of the doctrine; the principle of abstention from European wars and politics was common to all the fathers of American independence, inherited and expressed by the younger Adams all his professional life; in cabinet meetings, Adams also urged the dictum of nonintervention in the affairs of the nations of the Western Hemisphere. But Adams had no idea of proclaiming these dicta to the world. Monroe took responsibility for embodying them in a presidential message that he drafted himself. Modern historical judgment considers the Monroe Doctrine to be appropriately named.
President Monroe and his wife remained smitten by France after their sojourn there and with their daughters often spoke French together when they were in the White House. Elizabeth Monroe clothed herself in Paris creations and insisted on French etiquette and French cuisine at her table. Given the opportunity to refurnish the executive mansion when it was rebuilt after its destruction in 1814, the Monroes spent lavishly on gilded furniture, silverware, and various objets d'art imported from France. Some items that the president had purchased from impoverished French noble families while he was minister he now lent or sold to the government for use in the President's House at prices some considered suspiciously high, although Monroe was later cleared of impropriety.
The first lady, who was always in fragile health, suffered from an unidentified malady. She was often away from Washington for months at a time visiting her married daughters. To the considerable irritation of Washington society, she discontinued Dolley Madison's practice of paying courtesy calls on Washington hostesses. Still, Elizabeth Monroe was not without ardour; shortly after her arrival in France, during the Reign of Terror, she had helped to rescue Madame Lafayette, wife of the marquis de Lafayette, from prison and perhaps save her from the guillotine.
On the expiration of his second term Monroe retired to his home at Oak Hill, Virginia. In 1826 he became a regent of the University of Virginia and in 1829 was a member of the convention called to amend the state constitution. Having neglected his private affairs and incurred large expenditures during his missions to Europe and his presidency, he was deeply in debt and felt compelled to ask Congress to reimburse him. In 1826 Congress finally authorized the payment to him of $30,000. Almost immediately, adding additional claims, he went back to Congress seeking more money. Congress paid him another $30,000 in 1831, but he still did not feel satisfied. After his death Congress appropriated a small amount for the purchase of his papers from his heirs. Monroe died in 1831—like Jefferson and Adams before him on the Fourth of July—in New York City at the home of his daughter, Maria, with whom he was living after the death of his wife the year before. In 1858, the centennial year of his birth, his remains were reinterred with impressive ceremonies at Richmond, Virginia. After Liberia was created in 1821 as a haven for freed slaves, its capital city was named Monrovia in honour of the American president, who had supported the repatriation of blacks to Africa.
Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, John Quincy Adams, and many other prominent statesmen of Monroe's time all spoke loudly in his praise, but he suffers by comparison with the greater men of his time. Possessing none of their brilliance, he had, nevertheless, to use the words of John Quincy Adams, "a mindsound in its ultimate judgments, and firm in its final conclusions." Some of Monroe's popularity undoubtedly stemmed from the fact that he was the last of the Revolutionary War generation, and he reminded people of those heady times when the struggle for independence was in the balance. Tall and stately in appearance, he still wore the knee britches, silk stockings, and cocked hat of those days, and many of his admirers said that he resembled George Washington.

Papantoniou, Dimitris Antony (1986) Observations in turbulent buoyant jets by use of laser-induced fluorescence. Dissertation (Ph.D.), California Institute of Technology. http://resolver.caltech.edu/CaltechETD:etd-03142008-142149
The entrainment mechanism and mixing process are investigated in the far field of a liquid phase buoyant jet issuing into an unconfined, quiescent medium, by an experimental technique based on laser—induced fluorescence (LIF). Visualization experiments show the existence of a large scale organization in the far field, with structures spanning the radial extent of the conical flow region. Quantitative, high—resolution measurements of scalar concentration were performed along the radial direction in the far field region. For each data set, a large number of successive instantaneous concentration profiles were obtained by combining LIF techniques with linear photodiode array imaging and high speed data acquisition. The measurements revealed that the instantaneous profile bears no resemblance to the time—averaged profile. The flow interior is characterized by large spatial gradients of concentration, associated with interfaces between mixed jet fluid and fresh, entrained ambientfluid transported to regions deep into the flow. This is inconsistent with the description of transport by gradient diffusion concepts. The probability of finding unmixed ambient fluid and the concentration variance are greatly increased under the action of buoyancy. At any axial location, the arrival of a structure front is marked by a spatially coherent (along the radial direction) increase in the local concentration level. It is found that, within the structure, values of the concentration are generally decreasing in the upstream direction; substantial uniformity within the mixed fluid portion is observed along the radial direction. In the conical flow field of the momentum jet, a central region (in fixed spatial coordinates) may be identified within which the local mixed fluid composition is relatively uniform. This is not the case for the buoyancy driven plume, due to a greater variance in the position of the large structure and the high value of the intermittency. It is suggested that fluid is entrained by vortical motions mainly from the back and side regions of the large structure. Flow visualization reveals vorticity in the axial direction which enhances the mixing process; this vorticity appears stronger in the buoyancy driven flow. The results of these experiments are interpreted through a simple conceptual model of entrainment and mixing that encompasses the observed large scale organization of the buoyant jet flow.
